[edit] Shannon E. Hengen

Non-notable professor. This was a speedy candidate but {{db-bio}} removed with a weird reasoning. Currently the article says nothing encyclopedic in terms of her notability; all we know is that she has a few subject specialisations, teaches somewhere, and publishes some books - nothing that the profs in my own university don't do, and I know most of them aren't notable. Thus, bringing here to seek a consensus for deletion. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 17:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Agree with nominator's assessment. See WP:PROF. I don't think this professor meets any of the criteria for notability. —Brim 17:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete doesn't meet WP:PROF. Hello32020 17:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Also an academic administrator: "acting chairperson for the English Department at Laurentian University." and an expert of Margaret Atwood. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 18:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Fails WP:PROF Bwithh 19:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Nothing in WP:PROF about being an acting chair of a department. And their expertise in a field has to be recognized by independent sources. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 19:14, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, should be verifiable. JYolkowski // talk 20:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't see anything in here that asserts notability sufficient enough to pass WP:PROF. Only about 175 unique and 640 total Google hits for "Shannon Hengen", and less than 5 hits when adding her middle initial. I thought I found a bit of notability when I saw that she'd cowritten a book with Thomas Friedman... but it wasn't that Thomas Friedman. -- Kicking222 22:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. — Arbusto 05:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Cholmes, but I want to say that Merope was definitely right to remove the speedy tag here. Even being a professor should explain importance enough to pass speedy deletion, and the draft even at the time went further than that. Mangojuice^talk 17:16, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
